WHY PEOPLE ARE QUITTING CS- A Discussion

[Purgatory K9]

Spunds grat. Tho ultra rare would get mixed up with unreleased (UR). Maybe something like extra rare?

True. Or Extremely Rare!

Extremely rare rolls of the tongue better for sure. Make it a gold color too? Kind of like Fortnite weapons lol

POLL ADDED!!

I am a bit unsure what the purpose of this poll is, the front page basically seems to be saying that 'things need to change' and I think its pretty clear most everyone on this thread agrees that at least some changes are needed, including staff who have posted here.

I know I've said this before as well as some of the other staff, but if you want to effect change I really suggest making separate suggestion threads for specific things you want changed. A general thread asking for 'changes' isn't something staff or admins can actually act on, and all the suggestions in this threads and discussion around them are spread out over 160+ pages. This is essentially just going to turn this thread into a spot for people to complain about things they don't like, which has happened to a number of other threads like this one in the past.

I really suggest encouraging people to make suggestion threads for each specific suggestion, and discuss them in more detail, things like different ways it could be implemented, pros/cons, etc. Something more actionable than a general call for changes. As great as it is to talk here about cool changes that could be made, I doubt the admins have time to read through this entire thread looking for things they can actually implement, and a google doc full of 1-sentence suggestions doesn't say much on how they would be implemented or user's thoughts on them.

Can the folks running the Google doc link each suggestion to a forum, if their is one, so we can direct people there?

I like that this thread is really good at generating ideas. I think the nature of "anything goes on the topic of why people leave" is actually really helping the discussion. I think it's helping us all better understand what matters to us on the cite, and what might be confusing issues. So whenever I see suggestions for specific threads, I think, "actually this setup seems to be helpful."

At the same time I agree, individual threads will be easier for people to access. So having a list at the start of this thread directing towards those might be good?

Isn’t that why the spreadsheet exists?

[twilispark]

people make individual suggestions threads all the time and never get change which is why mass idea threads like these are created

c$ inflation from 2021
more frequent rerealease
a call for more transparency
call for another archivist
pound improvements
2nd gen store pets
more pound events
more dec 18 boxes
community based c$ economy boosting idea

no noticeable changes despite some of these being older

i also get that people are allowed to individually price things based on how much they like the pet, but really? 20CS$ for a '22-23 easter rare? which you have fifteen of??? okay. 😭

Oh my god this. I love the site I've just been browsing this thread the last few days to see other people's perspectives, but this is something that really irks me. Some people will hoard 10-15 of the same highly desired (especially older) pets only to sell them at EXTREME prices. it's insane and it's not fair to casual players. Sure, price the pets at what you personally value them, but when you have 11 of that exact same pet and you refuse to lower your extremely high price... it's just sad and it takes away what's fun about the site.

i’d like to add onto this with one thing: expensive hoards are just ways for players to control the market or sometimes over sell. I had a few hoards in the past, but i rarely collect for them anymore, because i realized there wasn’t much fun in keeping tens of the same pet. Even when i did hoard, it was only common pets. I feel hoarding highly sought after pets/rares in general is just sort of unfair and a bit greedy…

Sorry for butting in here, but Celozon mentioned the issue with the spreadsheet

-snip-... and a google doc full of 1-sentence suggestions doesn't say much on how they would be implemented or user's thoughts on them.

The purpose of this poll is to see if/ how many people agree that things need to change, I would like to see whether they agree with the issues I have listed. I understand where you are coming from by saying that it would be more beneficial to make separate threads and the purpose of this thread is to spark ideas as well as notify users of the current issues going on. I believe that there should be a place for us to gather and come up with new ideas to help keep the site afloat and have less people quit. I care about chickensmoothie and lots of others do too. This thread is to gather a bunch of ideas that could very well work and I’m planning on making separate threads about the specific, most beneficial ideas based on the feedback I have gathered from here. This thread is instrumental as I had seen the issues before creating this and didn’t have specific ideas on how to fix things.

What site admin or staff is going to take a spreadsheet with a bunch of unexplained, one sentence, complaints and a pixel art among us seriously???

Hi, I noticed there was a suggestions area, and I wanted to maybe add this to the page? It was an old thread of mine I made about the ability to sort trades here. It got moved to the active suggestions page when the page was originally created here and nothing ever really happened. I glanced over that people were adding the individual suggestion threads and thought I should throw that one in.
